Research On The Effect Of High Performance Human Resource Practices Under The Background Of The Utilization Of Robots

We live in a rapidly changing era.The dynamic and highly competitive business environment,along with changing customer preferences and emerging new technologies,forces organizations to constantly restructure and reshape themselves.China is the largest manufacturing country in the world.Manufacturing industry is the foundation and pillar of China’s production capacity and national economy.In the era of increasingly fierce market competition,it is particularly important for manufacturing enterprises to establish and maintain their core competitive advantage.Strategic human resource management believes that human capital is an important source of enterprise competitive advantage.Employees with high human capital will ensure the normal operation and sustainable development of the enterprise with excellent performance.As the focus of strategic human resource management research,high-performance human resource practice is not only an important condition for transmitting the organizational strategic vision,constructing the organizational situation and shaping employees’ behavior,but also an important channel for information exchange between organizations and employees.More and more manufacturing enterprises realize that high-performance human resources practice plays an irreplaceable role in improving employees’ skills,stimulating employees’ motivation and promoting organizations to form competitive advantage.With the further development of technology,more intelligent technologies such as industrial robot and artificial intelligence came into being.In recent years,industrial robots are more and more widely used and have become an important role in the production line.Although the United States,Japan,Germany and other advanced industrial countries have always been the traditional leading force in the development and adoption of robot technology,the use of advanced automation technology and robots is also increasing at a very fast rate in emerging economies,especially China is playing an increasingly important role in the use of industrial robots.According to the new report of the world robot 2021 industrial robot released by the International Federation of Robotics(IFR),the number of industrial robots in China’s factories has reached a record 943000.Industrial robots play an important role in China’s industrial upgrading and economic structure transformation.In the industrial 4.0 era of using information technology to promote industrial change,with robots and other computer-aided technologies replacing the tasks previously completed by the labor force,people are more and more worried about the future of employment and wages,"machine replacement" has also become an era proposition widely concerned by the current academic and society.Despite the growing debate on the impact of these new automation technologies,there is little or no empirical evidence from developing countries.In China,although the development of manufacturing mechanization and automation has reduced the demand for labor,there are still many links that need workers to complete.In this context,how does the use of robots affect employee outcomes at the micro level? In order to solve this problem,this study attempts to introduce the AMO theoretical framework into the research of highperformance human resource practice,in order to explore the mechanism of highperformance human resource practice on employee task performance and innovation performance under the background of robot use.This study takes 447 manufacturing employees as samples for analysis.The results reveal the intermediary mechanism that high-performance human resource practice and robot use jointly affect employees’ task performance and innovation performance,and open the black box between high-performance human resource practice and employees’ performance from a new perspective,The conclusions are as follows: high performance human resource practice has a positive impact on employees’ task performance and innovation performance through dedicated human capital;Robot use positively regulates the positive relationship between high-performance human resource practice and employee specific human capital;The interaction between high-performance human resource practice and robot use has a positive impact on employees’ task performance and innovation performance through dedicated human capital.
